How does CJC-1295 work?
It latches onto the GHRH receptor on the pituitary gland and tells it to release growth hormone, the same way the body's own growth hormone releasing hormone does. But its changed shape resists the fast breakdown that limits the natural hormone and sermorelin to minutes of action. The DAC version lasts a long time, so its effect on growth hormone lasts for days instead of coming as one burst.
